Every winter is the time when bacon is ready, and it is the most suitable time to eat bacon. There is a folk custom of "curing in winter and storing it to keep out the cold". After a light snow, the temperature plummeted and the weather became dry, which was a good time to process bacon. After the light snow festival, some farmers began to make sausages and bacon, and stored the surplus meat in the traditional way until the Spring Festival.
3, Bazin, fragrant and sweet, sweet but not greasy, is the best dessert in winter. Some places in the south also have the custom of eating Ciba in October of the lunar calendar. Ciba is a kind of food made by steaming and mashing glutinous rice, and it is a popular food in some areas of southern China.
In ancient times, Ciba was a traditional festival sacrifice in the south of China, which was originally used by farmers to worship the cow god. There is a saying that "in October, Ciba Shao" refers to sacrificial events.
The reason why the ancients named this solar term "light snow" is because "snow" is the product of cold water vapor, representing cold and precipitation. This solar term, the climate is not deep and the precipitation is not heavy, hence the name "light snow". The name "light snow" is a metaphor, which reflects the climate change of this solar term, active cold current and increased precipitation, rather than a small amount of snow under this solar term.
Light snow in solar terms and light snow in weather forecast are not the same concept. Solar term light snow is a solar term reflecting precipitation and temperature. The arrival of this solar term means that the weather will get colder and colder and the precipitation will gradually increase.
